Chapter 1195: Peak of the Cloud Sea, Condensing Scarlet Mosquito Beasts (Second Update)

The rift in the Wind Immortal Realm seemed to have been violently torn open by someone, savagely devouring all living beings that entered it. The instant the Red Mist sprayed out and over a hundred Scarlet Mosquito Beasts appeared, Wang Lin immediately summoned his own Mosquito Beasts without hesitation.

Just as he expected, the Mosquito Beasts, which had transformed and become pale gold, immediately caused the hundred-plus Mosquito Beasts to tremble upon their appearance, utilizing the unique sense and Aura they shared, and they quickly gathered tightly around them.

There was a strict hierarchy among the Mosquito Beasts, with absolute oppressive power existing between the ranks. Just as Li Yuan and Lei and the others saw, those Scarlet Mosquito Beasts seemed truly to be welcoming their King.

However, the one they were welcoming was not Wang Lin, but the Mosquito Beast King beneath him.

Entering the rift, the world displayed before Wang Lin was, just as his Divine Sense had previously swept over, filled with yellow light everywhere. But this yellow light was not the only thing; patches of strange Red Mist occasionally drifted across the heavens and earth, moving at astonishing speed driven by the fierce wind.

Stepping onto this former Wind Immortal Realm, dense Immortal Qi permeated the wind. Although this place was a ruin, it was remarkably well preserved; the deeper one went, the more this was true.

Here, what Wang Lin felt most profoundly was the wind! Endless wind, boundless wind!

Traces of wind seemed ubiquitous throughout the entire world, the entire Immortal Realm. There was no dust left on the ground, seemingly having been swept clean by the ceaseless wind of countless years. His clothes flapped, making slapping sounds, and his white hair danced, lifted by the wind. The wind was sometimes light, sometimes heavy. When gentle, it brushed his face, making his spirit cheerful, like countless soft little hands stroking his body.

But when heavy, it was like a fierce gale or a hammer, capable of shattering the Physical Body and collapsing the Primordial Spirit with its rumbling force.

This entire Wind Realm was indeed true to its name, filled with wind! It was as if a fissure had been torn open in the world, releasing the lonely wind that had accumulated within for tens of millions of years!

Loneliness and solitude—this was the feeling in Wang Lin’s heart when the first wisp of wind struck his face and he closed his eyes after stepping into this place. Furthermore, the constant accompanying sound of the wind, born with the heavens and earth, was like whispers and soft praises of solitude, slowly echoing throughout the world, giving a strange and Soul-stirring feeling, as if many people were continuously emitting indistinct sounds.

As he proceeded, Wang Lin was surrounded by over a hundred Mosquito Beasts. With their constant cries echoing, the Mosquito Beast King beneath Wang Lin showed excitement. It let out a long, earth-shattering neigh toward the sky, reverberating in all directions.

The moment this neigh sounded, a patch of Red Mist ahead, which had been driven by the fierce wind like a cloud layer, immediately collapsed with a boom. Hundreds of red lights flew out from within, instantly transforming into ferocious Mosquito Beasts.

The gaze of all these Mosquito Beasts instantly focused on the body of the Mosquito Beast King beneath Wang Lin. They cried out simultaneously, but their cries were filled with trembling and an Aura of submission.

Wang Lin’s eyes flashed. He had long noticed something strange about the Mosquito Beasts existing in the Wind Immortal Realm. Although these Mosquito Beasts were ferocious, they all possessed Immortal Qi to varying degrees. This was easy enough to explain: since they had existed in the Wind Immortal Realm for a long time, they naturally acquired Immortal Qi.

In contrast, what truly drew Wang Lin’s attention was the strength of these Scarlet Mosquito Beasts. Wang Lin had previously seen similar Scarlet Mosquito Beasts in the Demon Spirit Land. Perhaps due to the nature of their location, their strength wasn't high. But every single Scarlet Mosquito Beast he saw now was equivalent to a Nirvana Scrutiny Cultivator.

Furthermore, there were a few Dark Red Mosquito Beasts among them that were comparable to Late Stage Nirvana Scrutiny Cultivators!

This discovery greatly boosted Wang Lin’s morale! Although only a small portion of these Mosquito Beasts were equivalent to Late Stage Nirvana Scrutiny, Wang Lin knew that this was merely the periphery of the Wind Immortal Realm!

And the Scarlet Mosquito Beasts were the lowest-ranked existence within the Mosquito Beast swarm! Outside the rift earlier, if they had been in a different location, Wang Lin understood that those dozen or so Cultivators might not have been so nervous, as these hundred Mosquito Beasts were not too powerful. But outside the rift, they had no choice but to retreat. If they got tangled up, and even one Mosquito Beast managed to escape, they would face endless pursuit by Mosquito Beasts from within the Immortal Realm.

In fact, just one Mosquito Beast emitting a sharp shriek could draw thousands upon thousands of Mosquito Beasts rushing out from the Immortal Realm within the rift.

In reality, Mosquito Beasts are a very strange race. The King among them is not necessarily the strongest Mosquito Beast at certain stages; rather, many existences similar to guards are considerably stronger than the King of the Mosquito Beasts.

However, the King among the Mosquito Beasts possesses a unique Divine Ability: transformation! Almost all Mosquito Beasts have their limits fixed from birth, and none can Break through those limits. For instance, if one is born red, it can, at most, only become brownish-red throughout its life until death.

But once a transformation occurs, that Mosquito Beast can become the King of its race. Although it might not be as strong as the other Mosquito Beasts in the Early Stage, it is destined to be the strongest in the end!

More importantly, once a Mosquito Beast transforms, it naturally emits an oppressive power among its own kind. This oppressive power is inherited through the Soul, and even the strongest Mosquito Beasts will submit under this pressure, provided they haven't transcended too many ranks.

It is precisely the existence of this oppressive power that causes Kings among Mosquito Beasts to undergo drastic changes upon meeting—either peaceful coexistence or a life-and-death struggle involving mutual consumption. Every time one King consumes another, the strength of the victor skyrockets!

Furthermore, other Mosquito Beasts do not participate in battles between Mosquito Beast Kings. After one side dies, the Mosquito Beasts it gathered will immediately become subordinates of the newly born King.

Regarding Mosquito Beasts, Wang Lin had already made extensive preparations and gained understanding before deciding to come to the Wind Immortal Realm. Now, following the Mosquito Beast King’s neigh, the hundred-plus Scarlet Mosquito Beasts ahead immediately flew over and circled around them.

Currently, the number of Mosquito Beasts surrounding Wang Lin was close to two hundred, ten of which were dark red.

This amount was far from enough. Wang Lin’s goal was the stronger Mosquito Beasts deep within this place! Especially when he recalled the dense, boundless Deep Purple Mosquito Beasts that flew out of a mysterious planet in Tu Si's memory—even someone as powerful as Tu Si had to flee upon seeing them. Whenever he thought of this, Wang Lin’s heart would pound.

This was precisely the main reason he had forcefully caused the Mosquito Beast King to transform!

Gazing at the ten Dark Red Mosquito Beasts, Wang Lin’s eyes flashed. After pondering for a moment, he did not continue toward the depths of this place, but instead circled around the periphery of the Wind Immortal Realm.

Several hours later, Wang Lin, accompanied by the two hundred Mosquito Beasts around him, saw another patch of Red Mist whistling toward them from the horizon. Upon seeing the Red Mist, Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. The Mosquito Beast King beneath him immediately charged out and let out a roar toward that patch of Red Mist.

Under its roar, the large patch of Red Mist instantly stopped moving and violently fragmented. Nearly a hundred Scarlet Mosquito Beasts scattered and flew straight toward the Mosquito Beast King. There was a moment of struggle in their eyes, but they quickly showed submission.

Wang Lin scanned them and discovered six Deep Red Mosquito Beasts in this third wave of the swarm. He felt slightly invigorated. Wang Lin felt that as the Mosquito Beast King continuously gathered Mosquito Beasts around it, his overall strength was rapidly skyrocketing.

Currently, three hundred Mosquito Beasts equivalent to Nirvana Scrutiny Cultivators, sixteen of which were comparable to Late Stage Nirvana Scrutiny existences, formed a force sufficient to easily trap and kill a Nirvana Cleansing Cultivator without Wang Lin needing to take action.

"Three hundred is still too few, I need more! If I can leave here with ten thousand Scarlet Mosquito Beasts equivalent to Nirvana Scrutiny Cultivators, then even a nirvana shattering Cultivator would likely flee upon seeing me, without me needing to use a single Divine Ability! If I could have one hundred thousand Scarlet Mosquito Beasts… then even a Great Perfection nirvana shattering Cultivator would probably have to escape a hundred miles away from me!

If the Mosquito Beasts exceed one hundred thousand, what then of the Heaven and Man Tribulation? If they could exceed a million, or ten million…" Wang Lin licked his lips, excitement showing on his face. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Taking a deep breath now, he flew into the distance with the three hundred Mosquito Beasts. Along the way, the booming sound of the Mosquito Beasts' wings flapping, combined with the sound of tearing air, echoed with astonishing Aura.

Wang Lin’s gaze was like lightning as he rapidly advanced along the periphery of this Wind Realm. Before long, he saw another patch of Red Mist being driven by the fierce wind. As the Mosquito Beast King neighed, oppressive power permeated the area, causing the Red Mist to immediately halt mid-air. Moments later, it scattered with a roar, and a large number of Mosquito Beasts flew over. But just then, two streaks of brownish-red light rushed out from the Red Mist. Instead of approaching Wang Lin, they sped away, expressions revealing struggle.

Wang Lin’s eyes flashed. The Mosquito Beast King beneath him shot out like lightning, flying directly toward the two fleeing brownish-red Mosquito Beasts. Simultaneously, a sudden roar erupted, and a dense oppressive power spread out from its body, wildly sweeping across the surroundings.

Under the descent of this oppressive power, the bodies of the two brownish-red Mosquito Beasts trembled, and they began to shriek. Moments later, the struggle in their eyes vanished, replaced by submission, and they flew to the side of the Mosquito Beast King.

Wang Lin swept his Divine Sense over the two brownish-red Mosquito Beasts, and joy appeared on his face. These two brownish-red Mosquito Beasts were almost equivalent to Cultivators at Great Perfection Nirvana Scrutiny, and the presence of fierce Qi made them feel even more terrifying and sharp.

"Four hundred!" Wang Lin looked at the dense swarm of Mosquito Beasts around him, especially the two brownish-red Mosquito Beasts and nearly twenty Dark Red Mosquito Beasts, and his mood grew even more joyful.

He was in no hurry to go deep into the Wind Immortal Realm at this moment, but continued to circle the periphery. Gradually, as he kept moving forward, he encountered patches of Red Mist along the way. The large number of Mosquito Beasts that flew out from within all trembled upon seeing Wang Lin’s Mosquito Beast King and immediately circled around him. Two days later, the area where Wang Lin stood within the Wind Immortal Realm was already permeated by over a thousand Mosquito Beasts. From a distance, it looked like a red cloud moving across the sky.

I can barely hold on.
